[Liuyuxinn]

Hey @allind I tried to install eukdetect but when I want download EukDetect database from Figshare: (run this command): wget https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/34885596 it gave an error saying: Connecting to ndownloader.figshare.com (ndownloader.figshare.com)|54.217.124.219|:443... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden ERROR 403: Forbidden

Can you figure out what the problem is and how can this be resolved?

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for reaching out. Try directly downloading the database (most recent is version 9) from this link: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Eukdetect_database/12670856

Thanks for the quick reply! I try directly downloading the database (most recent is version 9) from this link: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Eukdetect_database/12670856

However,when I run: tar -zxvf 12670856 , it gave an error saying: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Can you figure out what the problem is and how can this be resolved?

Thanks in Advance

When you download the database directly instead of with ndownloader, it'll be called something different (eukdetect_database_metarch_v2.tar.gz). Untar that file, not 12670856.

Thanks for the quick reply! I run this command:(try to download the database) wget -c https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Eukdetect_database/12670856/eukdetect_database_metarch_v2.tar.gz it gave an error saying:

When I try to open this file（eukdetect_database_metarch_v2.tar.gz） directly，it showed 403 Forbidden. Can you figure out what the problem is and how can this be resolved?

Thanks in Advance

I'm not entirely clear what you're attempting - so here's a guide for how you should download the file.

Go to the figshare link (https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Eukdetect_database/12670856), click the "Download" button, and you should end up downloading the file "eukdetect_database_metarch_v2.tar.gz". If you need to transfer this file to a server, do that however you normally would. Then, from a command line window, navigate to the location of the file, and run tar -zxf eukdetect_database_metarch_v2.tar.gz.

You're not going to be able to open the file directly because it is a compressed folder of multiple files, and needs to be both unzipped and untarred. You can do this from the command line with the command tar -zxf eukdetect_database_metarch_v2.tar.gz from wherever you've saved the file.

I can't download this file "eukdetect_database_metarch_v2.tar.gz" to my computer directly，it showed 403 Forbidden. Can you figure out what the problem is and how can this be resolved?

Hi @Liuyuxinn, what happens if you do: wget https://figshare.com/ndownloader/files/34885596 directly from the command line? This is working for me.

If it's still not working, it's possible that your IP is in a range that's being blocked by either Figshare or Amazon AWS (where the link redirects). One idea is to try again later, as it might be just a temporary block. You could also try to download the file from another network: for example, if this is your home internet connection you could try to ssh to a server at work and download the file there, or vice versa. If you have access to a VPN, that's potentially another option.
